The aromatic richness of a champagne is found in its ability to pair with dishes that are as complex as they are varied. This simple recipe conceals a rich aromatic complex. Each ingredient reveals the aromas themselves, which are multiple, of the Cuvée Lalou 2006. The aniseed notes of the fennel linked to the citrus fruits allow the champagne to reveal fresh notes and express all its aromatic height. The honey in the sauce that accompanies the dish combines with the chardonnay in its pastry and gourmet aspect. The final touch is played between the blood orange and the bubbles of the Cuvée Lalou and ends on fresh notes.
